There is a greenhouse gas emission policy the Liberals are working on, as we have been hearing for a while now, nothing final, not even a touchable proposal on the table yet. Now out of the blue we are bombarded by this expensive ad campaign, not only on the radio but so called "fuelcasts" played on the little screens at gas stations. All funded by the Conservative Party of Canada, or should I say: us, the taxpayers...? The ads warn us about the Liberals', or as the the website claims, Stephan Dion's personal plans of "taxing Canadians to pay for his reckless spending promises." How about this reckless spending on silly ads? Couldn't the Tories at least wait until there is an actual presentation of that alleged tax proposal? I, and the average citizen, have no idea what exactly that proposal will look like until we see it. Then we can make our minds up whether we endorse it or not. We don't need pre-emptive Tory propaganda to guide us in a "desirable" direction. At least I myself don't like to be guided. Instead, I will remember this silly political maneuvering at the polls next time, and I will shun any gas station that endorses it by running the fuelcasts while pocketing MY tax money that they are paid for the service. (Even better: I will avoid all gas stations with fuelcasts...)
